Neural Network Ensembles for Financial Time-Series Prediction and Risk Management. Recently, neural networks have become popular tools for modelling financial markets. Much of this popularity can be attributed to the fact ...

As mobile communications become increasingly sophisticated and ubiquitous, traditional mobile billing with
its implicit trust relationships will no longer be adequate. With a large number of different sized mobile
networks, ...

A prototype database is a model of a database which exhibits the desired properties, in terms
of its schema and/or data values, of an operational database. Database prototyping has been
proposed as a technique to support ...

The aim of global illumination is to produce a realistic image that is indistinguishable
from a real image of that scene in the least amount of time. This is
achieved by modelling the physical laws that govern light ...

Middleware supporting event-based communication is widely recognised as being well suited
to interconnecting the components of mobile applications since it naturally accommodates a
dynamically changing population of ...

The distributed object paradigm is now widely accepted as a suitable
abstraction for building distributed applications. Numerous system
architectures based on the paradigm have been proposed, and software
frameworks ...

The success of file-sharing networks demonstrates that there is a huge potential market for digital
music services, if the music industry can find a service model that is attractive to listeners. The
concept of digital ...

Dynamic adaptation of software behaviour refers to the act of changing the behaviour of
some part of a software system as it executes, without stopping or restarting it. It is difficult
to dynamically adapt software if ...

We present two components of a special purpose formal method intended to support the modelling and development of distributed object-oriented systems. The first component is a language, called Oompa, in which designs for ...

Storytelling in computer games has become a major selling point for new titles. With new
games integrating compelling storylines with simulated worlds, there is increasingly a
standard set of techniques used to tell a ...

As e-commerce has become more popular, the problem of information overload has come to the
fore. Recommender systems that reduce the information overload problem are becoming more
common. However, the problem with many ...

One of the major obstacles in developing quality eLearning content is the substantial
development costs involved and development time required [Marchionini, 95].
Educational providers, such as those in the university ...

Pervasive computing looks beyond the age of the personal computer to a time when everyday devices will be embedded with technology and connectivity. The goal of pervasive computing is to make such devices available throughout ...

Mobile communications technologies are in a constant state of flux. They have evolved from simple one-way radio communications systems, to today’s third-generation networks that support digital signaling and multimedia ...

Continuing advances in hardware miniaturisation and networking technologies have contributed to the widespread deployment of a range of mobile computing devices. Ad hoc communication between mobile devices enables the ...

This thesis explores the design and implementation of a Prolog system with
just one mode of program execution rather than the two modes of execution?
interpretation and compilation?present in most Prolog implementations ...
